New Math Circles at Talking Stick Learning Center in Philadelphia, PA

Math Circle: Rational Tangles


Facilitator: Rachel Steinig
Ages: 12-14
Day, Time, & Location: Thursdays, 3:30 to 4:30, Cope House
Length & Dates: September 22 to October 27, 2016
Tuition: $120 ($10 deposit due with your registration)



Curriculum

Led by Rachel Steinig, students will make ropes dance via specified moves. Rational Tangles was invented by one of Rodi’s favorite mathematicians, John Horton Conway, a living mathematician whose life we’ll discuss in the course. Rational Tangles is rich in mathematical content, including algebraic thinking, transformations, symmetry, classification, geometric equivalence, the order of operations, and some of the more interesting arithmetic of fractions.

Harmony Learning Community © 2022
Spots on Thursdays Still Open

We are looking forward to in person programming in the fall! Harmony has filled up fast but we still have a few spots open on Thursdays for 4 to 10 year-olds. The summer is whizzing by so consider registering now. Please direct all questions to katherine@talkingsticklearningcenter.org. We look forward to hearing from you!

There are changes on the horizon at Talking Stick. We are reorganizing due to the pandemic and are planning in-person programming (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; 9am to 3pm) for 4 to 10 year olds as Harmony Learning Community at Awbury this fall. Registration opens in May. Please check back soon for details or email Katie at katherine@talkingsticklearningcenter.org with questions.

While Math Circle will not be held in conjunction with Talking Stick at this time, Rodi will continue to run classes and can be reached at rodi.steinig@gmail.com.
